Realise the importance of oblations in a Yajna

Rationalists are ignorant about usefulness of a Yajna and ask, ‘why do you burn these things in a Yajna ?’ It is not different from saying, ‘why do you cause pain to someone by giving him injection ?’ Just as there are benefits of taking an injection, there are benefits of giving oblations in a Yajna. Rationalists do not understand this due to the lack of knowledge about Yajna.
